Comment on A new way to support open-source: OpenPledge
zigxBenx@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoGood questions! Here’s a breakdown:
Difference from LiberaPay: While both platforms support contributions, Open Pledge focuses specifically on incentivizing contributions through GitHub integration. Maintainers can flag issues eligible for pledging, and our system tracks when pull requests are merged, triggering automatic payouts to contributors. This approach emphasizes results-based funding directly tied to project milestones.
KYC Requirements: Yes, we require KYC verification for both security and compliance, ensuring transparency and trust in the donation process.
Other Platforms Beyond GitHub: Currently, GitHub is our primary integration due to its popularity, but we’re exploring support for additional platforms based on community demand.
Source Code: We’re committed to transparency and are planning to release the codebase publicly soon, allowing for community involvement and feedback on Open Pledge’s development.
I hope I answered your questions :)
